In Europe the part has also been in the repertoires of almost every great actress including Re jane and Elenora Duse. An unusual incident in the history of this ! drama, and yet riot so unusual for those famil iar with the strange inconsist encies of theatrical history, was the production of A Doll's House, the "production" being only a single performance, in Louisville, Kentucky, by Mme. Modjeska in 1880, the year after the play was given its first pre sentation in Copenhagen. With the exception of this one per formance, the play was not again presented in the English j language until twenty years later, in 1899, when Janet Achurch and Charles , Charring ton played it in London, al though in the meantime it had been constantly played in Scan danavia, France, and Germany.

STUDENT COUNCIL DECISIONS " Deciding that in the case of an appeal made to the student body, a two-thirds majority of those voting will be necessary to grant the appeal, the student council is making, known its decisions regarding matters of appeals, removals from office, loss of office, and campus election to supplement the material contained in the student government pamphlet. These de cisions are as follows: ' - 1. APPEALS: Under present policy, appeals from decision of the council may be made (1) directly to the student body, or (2) to a special committee selected by all the parties concerned. In the case of the former appeal it will, in the opinion of the present council, require a two-thirds majority of those voting to grant the appeal. 2. REMOVALS FROM OFFICE: Any student or students may at any time present reasons for the removal from office of any campus official before the council. If the council decides the grounds insuf ficient for removal, the question will be presented to the student body by the president of the student body, if petitioned by a number of students equal to at least one-fourth of the number of votes cast for that office in the last election. A two-thirds majority of the votes cast on the question of a removal will be necessary to grant the petition. 3. LOSS OF OFFICE: Any campus officer suspended for some disciplinary offense or honor code violation automatically forfeits Jhis office. In case of failure to return to school for any reason whatever during any one quarter of the school year, or in case of withdrawal because of scholastic, financial, or other difficulties, he shall likewise forfeit his office. The student council shall call a new election to fill any vacancy which occurs in this manner. 4. CAMPUS ELECTIONS: The date for the annual election of all campus and class officials shall be the third Wednesday following the opening of the spring quarter. Nominations shall be made two days previous to the elections, and installation .shall be two weeks from .the day of the elections. . The election of all campus and class officers including dance leaders should be announced two weeks before they are to take place. V " Upon a question submitted by the president of the Publications' Union Board, it was the opinion of the council that the P. U. Board, an organization for financial control, does not have the power to judge whether or not editorial work of the campus publications is being efficiently performed. ' . BOARD PROPOSED AS GUARDIAN OF STUDENT MONEY Vote of Campus Will Be Taken February 9 on Auditing Bureau. Following the editorial sug gestion made by The Daily Tar Heel citing the need for such a group, and according to its de cision the Student Activities committee will submit to stu dent vote February 9 the pro posal that an auditing board should be created to bring about a more efficient business ar rangement of money expended by students for activities. ; Under the plan proposed, which will be submitted to the student union lor ratification Tuesday, the board will consist of two faculty members ap pointed by the president of the University and three student members elected by vote of .Uni versity students. I The work of the auditing board, according to the idea en dorsed' by the Student Activities committee, will encourage care ful bookkeeping, eliminate stu dent dishonesty, and allow a readjustment at the beginning of each new administration if such seems desirable by the re ports which will be ' published. All - waves of ill-founded gossip concerning graft, such as those which swept the campus last fall, it is felt, would be avoided since the board will be compos ed of members of - the faculty and students, with the president of the student union as an ex officio member and since the board will be capable of render ing, efficient reports upon the financial status of the organiza tions concerned. Such reports as the board would make, according to the proposal, would be presented to the student union through the medium of i The Daily Tar Heel. One of the first duties of the Student Activities com mittee after the spring elec tions will be to examine the re ports and recommend any readjustment.
